But would not have minded trading that slot and falling back to get a Cam Robinson either. 

Especially since it would have come with another high draft pick as well. Think he will be a solid player for a long time. Will know quickly though because he must try to block JJ Watt and Clowney in his first game Sunday. But think he fell through the cracks.      

Or Barnett as a pass rusher.

Yet that was then and now am fine with what we have if Ross makes it on the field. He could add a dynamic to our offense that we may have never seen before. Exciting but frustrating at same time. 

Am a little scared that Bengals do not re-sign AJ because of this pick too. 

Maybe, but the OT prospects in 2018 look MUCH better than those in 2017.
McGlinchey, Williams, and Rankin would all go before any OT in 2017 if they had declared.

I'm glad the Bengals skipped on Barnett. I think they got much better value with Willis and Lawson than if they had taken Barnett in the 1st.

The thing that surprised me was taking Josh Malone with Minnesota's 4th rounder instead of OL. We knew there was going to be a log jam at WR anyway when LaFell was brought back and Ross was drafted. If the Bengals really do think that they can get away with finding quality starters at interior OL in the 4th round, they clearly had the opportunity to do so.
